THE BEARD IS BACK IN FULL BLOOM

The long awaited premier for The Siege of Jadotville took place in Dublin, Ireland tonight and not only was the evening a star studded event, it was also a touching tribute to the veterans who served as peace keepers during the battle.

Our favourite billionaire turned serial killer, turned doctor turned two time war hero took to the red carpet and Q&A (which happened afterwards) tonight at the Irish premier of Jadotville; a Netflix Original film set to debut on Netflix word wide October 7th, had it’s official premier tonight with a plenitude of cast including Jamie Dornan himself (Quinlan) Sam Keeley (Bill), Jason O’Mara (Prendergast) and former The Fall cast mate Michael McElhatton (McEntee.) All wore their best to attend what was a uniquely special premier.

Based on a true story, Jadotville tells the story of how peace keepers, turned into soldiers in a valiant effort to fight off French and Belgian Mercenaries in the Congo during the early 1960’s. Those who survived were invited to attend the premier this evening.

Donning their berets and their uniforms proudly, the veterans of the 35th Battalion were treated with class, dignity and given a front row seat to the premier. They stopped to pose with actors, walked the red carpet shook hands and enjoyed an evening of reminiscing with old friends. An overdue homage to a film that has brought a story that many were unaware of, to life. 

After a short red carpet and plentiful fan pictures, the event headed indoors to a closed movie premier in which Jamie, fellow cast and veterans all attended. The film was followed by a Q&A of which Jamie participated alongside others.

The event has since quieted down with little activity afterwards. We imagine everyone hugged and said a heartfelt goodbye after an already emotional day. We hope that as fans of Jamie, he and his cast mates, have done those who served in the 35th Battalion proud and that his (Jamie) work continues to take him to avenues he never dreamed of exploring; ones that hopefully touch your hearts as much as they touch ours.

The anticipation of more stunning photos is never out of the question. Be sure to visit the gallery for all of the additions so far, and more to come!

A BUSY TWO DAYS

Jamie Dornan and his fan base have had quite a persevering two days! Dornan has been on a lengthy promotional tour for his newest film Anthropoid, which hit theaters on August 12th. With a slight week-and-a-half-ish break in between his first round of promotion, which took place in the USA, Jamie was back at ‘er again this week promoting the film in the UK. But he wasn’t alone; co-star Cillian Murphy, director Sean Ellis and other cast members where there to mutually support each other, and the film.

On Tuesday while attending the official UK Premier, Jamie took a night off from being a dad and sported his lovely wife Amelia on his arm for the premier.

DOESN’T AMELIA LOOK RAVISHING?! She donned a simple multicoloured polka-dotted dress while Jamie went super-cas as well, sporting a blazer and plain white tee. The couple looked stunning on the red carpet together as paps snapped their pictures prior to the movie showing.

After the premier it was time for Jamie and Amelia to head back to their hotel to catch up on some much needed sleep as tomorrow would prove to be just as exciting. The couple are staying at the Merrion Hotel in Dublin while Dornan’s press tour continues.

Now onto day two (today) where Jamie has two stops to make. He recorded the Late Late Show (RTE) where there were very few photos released and only by fans. The show is set to air Jamie’s appearance on Friday September 2nd, 2016. Dornan was swept off to the Audi Dublin International Film Festival for another screening of Anthropoid. Accompanied by fellow cast, yet sans Amelia, Dornan was yet again super suave in nothing more than a button down blazer and plain white dress shirt, top buttons undone, of course. With a brief shining moment on the red carpet to answer questions from reporters, and a quick photo op with the rest of the cast, it was time for Dornan to step inside once more for what was another fantastic viewing of Anthropoid.

Many fans were finally able to see the film for the first time, and what better way to do so than with Jamie?!

But today wasn’t all about Anthropoid. Like the creepy serial killer he is, The Fall and BBC Two managed to squeeze some new Spector in right in the middle of the Anthropoid frenzy. This new still from Series 3 of The Fall, featuring our fave serial killer, also hit the internet today, with much surprise to the fans.

Spector ranks at the top of Jamie’s roles most loved by fans and even though it’s entirely creepy to totally fan-girl over a serial killer, we don’t care – and we’re glad that he was snuck in during such a crazy time. Although there’s still no premier date for when the third series will air, a Q&A with Jamie and co-star Gillian Anderson is set to take place in the UK on September 7th.

You can find all of yesterday and today’s pictures from Jamie’s Anthropoid appearances including some new BTS portraits of the film, fan pictures from fans all around the world (thank you for so generously sharing them) and this new Spector still in the gallery.

You can catch up on all of Jamie’s Anthropoid Press Junkets, Jamie’s full appearance on ‘The One Show’ as well as a multitude of new clips and sneak peeks of Jamie’s next upcoming film, ‘The 9th Life of Louis Drax’ on our YouTube channel. 

EJD would like to thank all the fans and our fellow friends for contributing to Jamie’s ever growing fan base over the past two days. Your pictures, videos and encounters have helped so much, being so far away. We’re forever grateful.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS

Jamie Dornan and Cillian Murphy don’t seem to be slowing down with the Anthropoid promotion any time soon. The pair are set to attend the Audi Dublin International Film Festival in Cineworld, Dublin for a screening of Anthropoid on August 31st, 2016.

The pair, alongside director Sean Ellis, have been on a cyclonic promotional spree for the movie which included a trip to NY in early August, the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, which took place in July and sporadic stops to various radio, television and internet outlets, all to advocate for the film.

The film has been acclaimed as one of the greatest war movies of all time and has surpassed expectations at the box office grossing more than two million since its August 12th, 2016 release. Bleecker Street, the films distributor, has also notified the public that more global destinations have been added to the films release however, many fans of Dornan and Murphy’s are still clinging to their seats, anticipating whether or not their country will in fact be privy to the film.

You can purchase tickets to the Dublin screening here, or enter for a chance to win tickets to the Film Festival, and your chance to meet Dornan and Murphy in the flesh, here.

Either way, it looks like the fandoms are gearing up to have quite an exciting end to August!
